So you're leaving it to me to ask why he's playing games with a knife next to his pc?

Some questions are better left unasked.

Starfury's Construction and Circumcision Service.

our motto is "Measure twice and only cut once!"

Stuck again!  Aliens turn my ships into enemies.

if its the mission after the nebula ones just attack the derelict ship with all of your strike craft.
do NOT attack anything else because once you take out that ship the rest become yours to use.
I had retired all my fighter grade ships so I built up 40 bombers and took it down in under a minute.  I only lost 4 bombers.

Sure, cut right to the chase why don't ya...

[GDS_Starfury]

well some honesty here:
Im having a bug sometimes switching between the tactical and strategic screen where the whole screen goes black.  the upside is I can save and reload at that point and the game works fine so Im guessing its a gpu issue.
Im also not happy with how the formations with capital ship dont formate as they should.  band box a bunch of frigates and select wall and they kinda make these weird non-wall shapes.  this usually isnt much of an issue but theres one level where you NEED tight formations to navigate and Im having to micro manage the shit out of things.

Not in the least. He's a modeler. He's single. Therefore where he places the tools for his hobby aren't regulated by a traditional sense of a tidy home.

Frankly I often sit in the family room and paint minis. On rare occasions I also use an Xacto knife. I don't freestyle model like I think Star does - he's far more talented than I could ever hope to become. But his freestylin/scratch building means he's far more likely to have something like an Xacto within arm's reach.

Besides, what's wrong with having a knife next to your PC?

[GDS_Starfury]

100% correct.  though I think LB has the chops to get dirty with modeling.

on a Homeworld front though I've re-remembered one of the subtle reasons this game was so loved graphically.
it pays honored homage to the Terran Trade Authority books of sci-fi art.

You give me too much credit. I certainly have the balls to try to freehand model, but I can assure you the skill is not there.

On the bright side, I own one of those books  8)

Im going to steal every one of these ships!

Exactly one of the things I've loved about HW, too. I have too of the TTA books and absolutely poured over them as a kid. The war against Proxima is halfway a real event in my mind.
